NFC West – If anyone in the world isn’t expecting San Francisco to run away with the division hasn’t been watching football in the last few years. The Arizona Cardinals, though have Larry Fitzgerald, lack anyone worthy of throwing the football, the Rams simply don’t have any weapons other than Bradford and Jackson, and Seattle has all their eggs in the Marshawn Lynch basket. With the best defense since the ’85 Bears, the 49ers can average 14 points a game and I would still estimate an average winning margin of 4.

NFC South – What may look to be another gimme conference, Drew Brees should take his team far again this season, possibly earning the other bye for the NFC. Unless Matt Ryan can have a miraculous comeback from last year, I don’t see Atlanta going too far. Similar to my feelings about Washington, Carolina likely won’t go far because defenses now have a year’s worth of tape on Cam. Though Tampa may have made some nice additions in free agency and the draft, I still see this year as another to rebuild.
